Formerly known as the “Sunday Summer Substitute”, editor Cap'n Rick now takes the helm for 'Smooth Sailing Sundays'. As The Commodores sang about Sunday morning, the SSS will focus on easier metas. SSS will also support smaller grids and will mentor new constructors on request. Puzzles released each Sunday around 8am Eastern. Nudges released same day at Noon Eastern. New constructors are welcome.
A sad comedown, title-wise: My previous puzzle (created with Cap'n Rick) was titled "Perfect Content" --- this one is "D-Grade." I hope you enjoy SSSolving it nonetheless! Thanks to AJK for the title; AJK and Peter Abide for test-solving; and Joe Ross for formatting.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.
SSSolved! Funny, it was the first word I thought of, but it still took me a few to find out why! Thanks Wendy
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
Just as much fun the second time around. Great stuff, thanks.
Check out this very cool project by many of your favorite muggles to raise money to fight cancer. You get a fun puzzle bundle and good causes get $. Win-win: Crosswords for Cancer
Sssolved! Went down a couple of rabbit holes at first (same as mentioned by Berto on Crosshare). Probably I’m not as meta-aware solving the puzzle while watching the Steelers. As soon as they stopped the game due to weather, I saw the light . Enjoyed it! Thx for the puzzle!
SSSolved.
